10 highest profile players
 
Which 10 players in the world would you say have the highest fame factor in the poker world that are not affiliated to any online poker site?

I think these are probably mutually exclusive at this point. I toss Chau Giang in there. FWIW, this question stinks. I just answered cause I'm bored.

I like the question because I can put a list of 10 names together and I will find out the affiliations of most of them that I was unaware of.

C'mon, you've shot down the OP twice, and each time you've contributed a name. You only have 8 more names to go.

Esfandiari is affiliated with UB officially.

My guilty pleasure for the day. Try not to think of a rabbit with a pancake on his head. What?

How about Marcelle Luske.

Any list which doesn't include Phil Helmuth and Chris Moneymaker is crap.

Pretty sure Marcel Luske is involved with Intertops/InterPoker.

Chau Giang has been seen pushing Doyle's site. (Refer to 2005 Heads-Up Poker Championship. Chau donning a spanking Doyles Room stetson. lol.)

Same with Chip Reese.

Highest profile player not affiliated with any online poker (games) site?

Sklansky, due to his recent TV success, his programs on On Demand, and his books.

Dude did you even read the post? NOT AFFLIATED WITH ANY SITE. I have to suffer thru Chris Moneymaker commercials at least 10 times a poker watching session.

Re: 10 highest profile players
 
Hellmuth is with UB.com and Moneymaker is a fat slob, but is with Pokerstars.
